Under the leadership of Shi Yanguan, head of the Hungarian Shaolin Cultural Center, lay Buddhists and local believers totaling of 16 people worked outdoor together on September 29, 2021 local time.

Shi Yanguan said Shaolin Temple always pays attention to the tradition of valuing both agriculture and Chan. Master Shi Yongxin, abbot of Shaolin Temple often gives disciples a dharma teaching about the importance of valuing agriculture and Chan for the practice and cultivation of Buddhists in Chan monasteries. Blessings and virtues can be cultivated and good fortunes accumulated through the method of working outdoor.

Believers present in the event expressed it was not only a very rare opportunity to accumulate good fortunes but also the development of both body and mind. It was hoped that there would be more activities like this organized by the cultural centre in future. (Edited by Zou Xiang and pictures from the Hungarian Shaolin Cultural Center)
